Max's Review
  • Overall Rating: 7.5 
  • Smokiness: 6 
  • Sweetness: 3 
  • Hints of peat with a smell like rotting sea shells 
  • Having this scotch unchilfiltered really brings out the ropeadope and resmokeaged flavours 
  • Surprisingly smooth and creamy, rich in colour and texture 
Steve's Review
  • Overall Rating: 4 
  • Smokiness: 5 but not peat smoking. More of a campfire smoky but like a shitty campfire not a nice smelling one. Like it was made with wet smelly wood.
  • Sweetness: 7
  • "A noble failure, but a failure" - Michael Scott

  • Has a savoury thinness to it. Goes well with chocolate chip cookies. Maple, molasses, cut rubber hose.

  • Not a whole lot there, very medicinal, burns the nostrils a bit
  • The flavour does not compensate for the alcohol taste

  • Not much I can say. Kinda medicine-y
Will's Review
  • Overall Rating: 5
  • Smokiness: 3
  • Sweetness: 6
  • Not the best. Looks nearly clear, like some Scot watered it down while I wasn't looking. Doesn't get me excited for having to finish this bottle.
  • The lack of actual scotch in the bottle makes it have a faint smell and weak taste. It tastes mostly of alcohol.
  • Bung cloth, turnips, bog myrtle.
